As my tenure as Board President of the Neon Makers Guild comes to an end, my heart is full of  joy as I reflect on this neon community. As one of the founders, it has been rewarding to see so many people join, and to witness how the guild is bringing together neon makers — both seasoned veterans and newcomers alike.

I am incredibly grateful to my fellow founders—Danielle, Alleson, Robert, Cameron, and Nick—as well as to the current and incoming board members. Most of all, I want to thank our members, who are the heart of this community. The guild was created to unite neon makers, with the idea of helping each other learn and connect in the spirit of keeping this very special trade and handcraft alive. With a growing membership of 84 and counting, the Neon Makers Guild has built a strong foundation and has an inspiring future.

Looking ahead to 2025, the guild has exciting things planned! We can achieve even more with the help of our members, so I encourage you to consider joining a committee to help keep us moving forward, and to realize the full potential of this very special organization.

Together, let’s keep those neon torches burning bright!

With Gratitude,

 Eve Hoyt
